In Georgia they have absolutely no idea what a snow plow is nor what else salt can be used for unless it's on their pop-corn.
Last night at 11:00 there was three school busses stranded on I-85 South with school kids still on the busses that hadn't been made it home yet from school and Georgia Power Line workers were told to have a packed a suitcase when they reported to work. There was well over 300 fender benders in just Atlanta proper due to icy roads yesterday.
There's a reason why Sherman marched to the sea and that was so that he could rest his weary bones along with the rest of the troops he was with on the warm sea-shores of Georgia and that was in late autumn 1865.
We live 1.1 mile away from a road Sherman's troops cleared in that "March to the Sea" and today you can't drive 2 miles from here through the Ginger Cake Valley of Ga. Hwy. 54 because there's too much ice on either side of the valley and you'll not make it up the hill. Yesterday afternoon there was an ambulance with siren sounding and lights flashing trapped in that valley unable to get up the hill out of the valley.
Just because Lee hung a white flag at Appomattox Court House doesn't mean that them darned Yankees have any right to put that white stuff all over the place down here now.

P.S. Does anyone know where can I find a kid to shovel the driveway?
